Updated Wauseon Wrestling Record Boards

Couple of Banners put up in our practice room today. The first to honor our Runner-Up finish at the State Dual Meet Tournament. The second to honor alumnus McKayla Campbell for her double Fargo Title in 2015. Wauseon’s first Fargo Champion!

Proud of the group that competed at the State Tourn this weekend. Didn’t achieve our goal as a Team, but they battled back for a Top 5 finish. Individually 4 of our 7 qualifiers came home with medals: Not pictured: Zavian LaFountain, Kaelynn Hartsock, Amya Hallett

Couldn’t be more proud of this group! 10 District Qualifiers and 10 District Placers (7 State Qualifiers, 2 Alternates & a 6th place finish) While they all may not have achieved what they wanted, they ALL contributed to a District Team Title! On to next week in Columbus!

Great weekend for the Wauseon Wrestling Program last week… HS Boys qualified 10 to the District Tourn and won the Sectional Tourn for the 10th straight year. HS Girls qualified 3 to the District Tourn JH Team finished State Runner-Up at the OAC JH State Duals

Great story on our own Kale Waxler. Thanks to @BCSNsports for coming out! bcsnnation.com/on-the-mats-ka…

Super proud of our team for qualifying for the State Dual Meet Tournament for the 3rd straight year! Hard fought finals match with Bellevue, but our kids came together as a team to punch their ticket.

Thanks to Coach Blake Pitzen for organizing a great preseason session with the #1 HS wrestler in the country, Marcus Blaze! What a great turnout.

Just a reminder that tomorrow (Nov 11) and Tuesday (Nov 12) there will be parent meetings for Youth Wrestling. A parent or guardian needs to attend one of the 2 meetings. Both with be at the Wrestling Bldg across from the Middle / Elementary School, by the Track at 7 pm.

Great showing yesterday by Zavian LaFountain and Jordan Cook as they competed at the always tough Indiana Hoosier Pre-Season Open. Zavian went 5-2 and Jordan was 4-2 Next up…Grappler Fall Classic in Kalamazoo, MI at the end of Sep.

Great camp today with NCAA Runner-Up @rocco_welsh from @wrestlingbucks

Thanks to those wrestlers who came out today for day 2 of our camp. Big thanks to Wauseon’s own, Gavin Ritter who was our clinician. Didn’t get a group picture (Coach Ritter’s fault) because we rolled up mats up for some work inside the bldg starting tomorrow.

Learned some great technique from Ohio State All-American Dylan D’Emilio. Tomorrow, Sunday, July 21st, we have the second half of the camp with Wauseon’s own, Gavin Ritter. Still have time to come out and learn from these college wrestlers. 10 am - Noon 1 pm - 3 pm

I know that guy in the Green shirt…

We made the most of it by winning the Silver Pool and finishing 9th out of 29 Teams. Out of the 15 wrestlers we took, 13 took home individual, All-American honors. Super proud of all the Coaches, Wrestlers and Parents who made the trip happen.

Day 3 Results: Even though the team finished undefeated on the day and finished 8-2 for the tournament, it was disappointing that we did not get in the Gold Pool for a chance to bring home a Team trophy (due to the Alphabet…if you know, you know)

Good luck to this crew as they departed to Fort Lauderdale to compete at the AAU National Duals (formerly Disney Duals). This will be the 6th trip Wauseon has made to the event.
